Chapter 237 One of our own?
The shopkeeper continued, "Come, come, pack the things and send them to the mansion."
He Shen said, "Wait a moment."
The shopkeeper said, "Sir, what do you want?"
He Shen said, "Send this thing to Lord Mo Li's house."
The shopkeeper said, "Okay."
At this time, Heshen, Mochou and Du Xiaoyue were sitting around the table.
He Shen said, "I have nothing to do anyway. Boss, do you have anything good to show me?"
The shopkeeper said, "Oh, I don't have it here right now. If you want it, we have it across the street. He has a lot of things that are priceless."
He Shen hummed in agreement and said, "Does the shop next door also sell antiques and jewelry?"
The shopkeeper said, "No, no, no, it's a pawnshop, but we have the same owner."
He Shen asked, "A pawnshop? Who's the owner?"
The shopkeeper said, "Sir, to be honest, our boss is the uncle of the wife of the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang."
He Shen thought about it and said, "No wonder."
He said to Liu Quan, "Liu Quan, stay here with the two young ladies."
Then he said to the shopkeeper, "Boss, take me to the pawnshop across the street."
The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation, "Please, sir, please." Heshen followed him and left the scene.
As soon as He Shen left, Du Xiaoyue said, "Hey, buddy, give us your best Longjing tea."
……
The shopkeeper unfolded the Qingming Shanghe Tu for Heshen to see, and Heshen nodded with satisfaction.
The shopkeeper said, "This is an authentic work. You've never seen it before, except in my shop. But you recognize it, but it doesn't recognize you."
He Shen was sitting at the table at the time and said, "Yes, yes, it doesn't recognize me now, but it may recognize me tomorrow."
He said to the antique shop owner, "Okay, put it away."
The pawnshop owner said, "You've seen this thing. Do you want it? It's worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
He Shen said, "This gentleman is talking a lot of nonsense. Since I like it, I can afford it. Now, pack it in the box and seal it. I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow with the banknote."
He beckoned, and the two pawnshop owners immediately came over. He Shen said, "Listen carefully, if you have one of the things I want missing, I will smash your pawnshop."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.
The pawnshop owner had a look of astonishment and confusion on his face.
……
As they walked down the street, Heshen said, "Okay, man, you don't have to follow me anymore. Liu Quan, take the things back."
The waiter handed the thing in his hand to Liu Quan.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, uncle."
Mochou and the waiter said at the same time.
He Shen handed some money to the waiter and said, "Here, here, this is just a small gift."
The guy smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
"Go back." Heshen said.
"Yes, yes..." The guy returned the same way.
……
Wulin Antique Shop.
Several officers and soldiers gathered around, and the leader said, "Come on, surround this room tightly."
The shopkeeper came out and asked, "Brother Guard, what's going on? We're all serious businessmen here."
The pawnshop owner also came out and said, "Hey, sir, what can I do for you? We are all serious businessmen."
The leader said, "I didn't say it wasn't true. Is the boss the uncle of the Governor's wife?"
The antique shop owner and the pawnshop owner said at the same time, "That's right, that's right. We're all family. Come on, come on, everyone. Please come inside for some tea."
The leader said, "No, no, no, was someone buying something here just now?"
